XBee OEM RF whip antenna modules?

I'm currently using the maxstream xb24-dks usb development board. But it seems like there is no software communication between the board and the XTU software. The port works fine. It powers up the board. But it seems like there is a baud rate problem. I am trying to program a XBee OEM RF whip antenn...

It can read whats on the modules, but it can't write anything to them. I know I have all the write parts as warned and instructed about in the article. But every tim...

AVR Butterfly Power problem; Smileys workshop

I forgot that it actually matters where you wire the ground on the AVR butterfly. I put the positive lead in the right place. but I out the negative lead from the batter box two places to the left from where I was supposed to put it as shown in the August 2008 issue of nuts and volts. The LCD screen...

Re: Quadratic Equation help?

If instead we assume you meant this: -para(20000,Rd)/(3000-Rd+350)=-4 then we get this quadratic: -4*Rd^2-86600*Rd+268000000=0 the two possibile solution are: Rd=-25*sqrt(294689)-10825 Rd=25*sqrt(294689)-10825 and again the second one is the right one, which gives us Rd=2746 ohms. I meant the one ab...

Quadratic Equation help?

Can someone show me step by step how to put this in quadratic form?
its specifaclly for JFET design by the way (Common Source Amplifier)


A(v) = -(20k||R(d) / 3k-R(d)+350=-4


where k is for kilo ohms..

how do I put it in quadratic form?

Can you show me step by step?
